“Meghan was perfect for watching our cat for an extended stay! She gave us updates with pictures and videos. We felt she was safe and happy with Meghan. We will absolutely reach out again when we need a babysitter!”
“Rachel is as good as it gets for boarding my pup. She went above and beyond in caring for my pup and keeping me updated on all the fun they were having! Thank you so much for your wonderful care and we hope to stay with you again in the future!”
About: Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me for years to stay and check in on, feed, and play with their pets. I have 2 pets of my own - a miniature poodle and half-tabby, half-Maine Coon cat -and they're my entire world. Your pets deserve to to feel just as loved! I focus on making sure every dog feels safe, exercised, and happy while their owners are away, treating them with the same care I give my own. I'm comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, high-energy and more laid-back companions! I'm currently not working, so I'm fully available anytime - mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekdays, and weekends. Pet care fits easily into my flexible schedule, and I'll always make plenty of time for walks, play, and attention. Whether you need overnight care, drop-ins, or daily walks, I'm ready when you are! I have pets of my own, so I truly understand how important it is that your fur baby feels safe and loved. Your pet will be treated like one of my own - with care, structure, and lots of affection in a calm, pet friendly home.
“Julianna was great with our dog. She kept was updated and also sent us pictures of our dog. She responded quickly to our message which was nice of her. Will definitely recommend her to others and definitely book her again as well”
“Meredith was absolutely wonderful with our little Leo! He was at her home for four days and we received daily updates and pictures on all their adventures. She took him to the park and long walks and took extra special care to make sure he was comfortable. Without hesitation I will use her again and I highly recommend Meredith’s services if you want to feel confident that your pet is in wonderful loving hands!”
“Bridgette was a great host for my pup-son! When i dropped him off, the first thing she said was, “I’ve been excited all day waiting for him!” How comforting that was to hear?! She sent ample pictures and even videos! She took him to the dog park, on long walks, and challenged him with puzzles. My little fella usually takes a while before he feels comfortable eating with a new sitter but he had no issues with her! She even fed him his motion sickness medication before I picked him up. I would recommend Bridgette to any and all of my friends/family. Your pup will be in good hands. Added bonus that she was able to squeeze him in on short notice!”
“Sydney was absolutely wonderful with Luna. She consistently sent pictures and thoughtful updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Luna looked genuinely happy and comfortable in her care. I truly can’t recommend Sydney enough!”
“We had a great experience with Lex as Mochi’s sitter! She was very caring, attentive, and kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind. One thing we truly appreciated is her patience and understanding, even when we were running late picking Mochi up, she was more than willing to wait and didn’t make us feel rushed at all. Mochi came home happy and well taken care of. We would definitely trust Lex again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind pet sitter!”
“Carol Ann was willing to meet us in advance for a “get acquainted” meeting. My dog, Missy Seemed to be very friendly with her (and her hubby John) is a bonus. Carol Ann kept me apprised kept good care of my Missy. Definitely looking forward to my Missy spending more time with Carol Ann.”
“In short, Mark is a saint! And his family isn’t far behind. My 13-year old Airedale had never been boarded before and yet Mark took the very best care of him. I was away and received periodic updates and photos assuring me all was well. Mark is attentive, caring, fun and a real dog lover. I strongly recommend Mark in every way. You and your dog cannot find anyone better!”

“We had a wonderful experience! Thank you so much for taking such great care of Simba. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was happy, well looked after, and even made a new friend 😊 We really appreciated the regular updates and photos, it meant a lot to us. It’s clear how much care and attention you give to the dogs you look after. We would absolutely love for Simba to stay with you again in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for most of my adult life. My wife and I have made a point to adopt large older dogs that tend to be stuck in the shelter system. All dogs are good and deserve to live a fun filled, happy, and loved life. I am also recently pet CPR and first aid certified by The American Red Cross. Im currently working part time three nights during the week so I have plenty of free time to take care of your pups. Having recently lost our beloved Mastiff, I've been craving some pup time. I have a fully fenced in yard and have plenty of room to crate your pups. We recently lost our dog so we are pet free. Being dog people, we welcome your dogs like they were our family.
“Last night was my first night away from my 4 month old puppy. Even though my pup did great on our meet and great I was very anxious about leaving her. Bob knew my husband and I were celebrating our 25 year wedding anniversary and made sure we relaxed and enjoyed ourselves but sending periodic updates with pics. When we picked up our puppy today she just woke up from a nap on Bob's lap. She was happy to see us but in no rush to leave. Bob will now be watching her for 10 nights in the summer and I couldn't be happier. I am 100% confident that I found the perfect sitter for my little girl. Thank you again Bob!!!”

“This is my second time booking with Anahi, and it’s been another great experience. She is highly communicative, very loving and attentive to my cat, and from the pics I get, he is clearly in love with her. I had concerns about being away during the winter storm, and both Anahi’s and Purr’s safety with roads iced over. We worked it out, and all was well. Thank you so much, Anahi! We appreciate you!”
“It was my first time using Rover and it was the best decision. Kathy and John were amazing and kept me in the loop the entire time I was away. I knew my cat Cindy was in good hands. I will be using them every time I need to travel.”
“Meghan was perfect for watching our cat for an extended stay! She gave us updates with pictures and videos. We felt she was safe and happy with Meghan. We will absolutely reach out again when we need a babysitter!”
“This was the first time we've had someone watch the cats that isn't a family member, but I could tell Katie was a pro who also loves animals, so I felt totally comfortable. She has a lot of experience and I was confident she could handle anything that might come up. Luckily everything went smoothly and she did a great job with our 2 adult cats and 2 kittens. She sent plenty of updates and photos/videos so we could see how our babies were doing. She made sure Xena got her medicine and everyone got playtime. I would definitely book her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Kristen did a great job cat-sitting at my house. I left way too many instructions, which she followed perfectly. And both of my shy cats were comfortable enough to make appearances - one even let her pet him. She was also excellent at communicating and sending pictures. I highly recommend her!”
“Olivia is absolutely fantastic. she took care of my kitty for me while I was away and I am so grateful. Do yourself a favor and hire her for peace of mind and excellent service for your fur baby?”
About: Hi there! I'm a 19 year old college student with a huge love for animals—honestly, I think I love them more than anything else in the world. I’ve been caring for family dogs since I was 12, and spending time with animals has always been one of the happiest parts of my life. I’m currently working part-time at a senior living facility while studying to become a nurse, because caring for others both people and pets is something I’m truly passionate about. I have two sweet cat babies of my own, and they’ve taught me so much about love, patience, and the little things that matter. I’ve had them for 7 months now and I’ve learned so much about caring for not one but two cats! In my free time, I enjoy baking, reading, and going on peaceful walks through the park or along the beach. I’d love the chance to care for your pet and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Every animal deserves the best life possible, and I’d be honored to help give that to yours.
“Carly was a blessing to have while we were away. We have two senior kitties who both require medication and she was able to administer it all. Super communicative and personable. Highly recommend and will use again.”
About: I’ve cared for cats of every kind — from shy rescues to curious kittens. With over six years of experience and four cats of my own (including one who’s deaf), I’m patient, detail-oriented, and understand that each cat has their own way of feeling safe and loved.
“Folks, I can't recommend Heather more if I tried! She was phenomenally responsive, caring, and super diligent about each and every detail. I had major surgery, so working with Heather was one big area I didn't have to think twice about. The cats LOVED her. I could tell because when I came home they didn't even look at me twice. ;-)”
About: I grew up with dogs. A dog, sometimes two or three, was always in our house and a part of my family. I’ve been around dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds, understanding each one is unique and needs certain care. I have helped train a chocolate lab (a very energetic boy named Brody) from a puppy. I understand dogs are a part of your family and will provide that love and care towards them. I care for my two cats, Avy and Moose along with my partner. Since we share responsibilities of our cats and my 9-5 job is remote I am able to schedule sits and walks regularly. My girlfriend and I currently have two cats who are a part of our everyday lives. They like to wake us up and sun bath by the windows. We love them
About: I have over 25 years of experience caring for cats, both my own and those belonging to clients. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with cats of all ages, temperaments, and special needs, which has given me a deep understanding of feline care. My services have included daily feeding, grooming, litter maintenance, playtime, companionship, and administering medications when needed. Clients trust me because I am not only reliable and professional, but also truly compassionate—I treat every cat as if they were my own. I pride myself on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for each feline in my care, while providing peace of mind to their families. Whether it’s a first-time kitten owner or a seasoned cat parent, I tailor my care to meet each client’s and cat’s unique needs.
About: Growing up with a cat, I have always had a soft spot for them! I have previously cared for cats of all different temperaments and all sorts of situations including bonded pairs, older cats with specific health/safety requirements, curious kittens, and many more. I know how stressful it can be to find a caretaker for cats, but I absolutely love animals and am eager to use my skills and experience to care for your cat and take stress off of both the owner and pets involved.

“Linda is very sweet and she took great care of Teddy! I know he had a blast with her and her dog, who is also very friendly. I loved the cute pics that Linda sent during the stay.”
“Katie (& her dog Talia) took excellent care of my fur babygirl Precious! Katie is super friendly, considerate, and a genuinely huge animal lover. I was updated with pictures & videos of Precious, as well as text updates on how she was doing & her progress with meals. I appreciate how careful Katie is with separating all the dogs during feeding/mealtimes. Precious can sometimes run out the door and it meant a lot to me that Katie took extra care to make sure that wouldn’t happen. Most importantly, Precious had so much fun & was amazingly taken care of. A+++++ *P.S. the drive from Howell (22 min) is worth it*”
“This is my first time leaving Stella for the day when I adopted her about 2 months ago. Rachel is the best as she keep me informed about how Stella was doing throughout the day and kept her very active. It really took the stress/anxiety away while I had to take care of my activities for that day. I know Rachel did a great job looking after Stella as Stella slept soundly that night :-) Cheers”

“Keith is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and dog behavior. He’s kind, patient, confident and calm. I have two young dogs and they both instantly loved him. I felt extremely comfortable leaving my young puppy with him for a walk. I knew she would not only be safe, but have a fun and enriching experience. Highly recommend!”
“Jessica was outstanding! She was available on NYE when I needed last minute help. She even came to the house during the day and met with me and Bowie for a meet and greet before she came back that evening on her own. She went above and beyond with sending me updates as well as photos and videos, and even did other things like refill his food and water and remove his collar once he was in for the night (as I requested). My dog instantly was comfortable around her and you can see that she is very professional and passionate about her job. 10/10 recommend, she was so kind and a true life saver!”

About: Hello, my name is Heather and I love animals. I have extensive experience as a dog walker and dog and cat sitter. I have taken care of dogs as small as Chihuahuas and as large as Neapolitan Mastiffs. While I usually watch one or two pets in a household, a former client of mine had 5 dogs who were different breeds, 3 rabbits, and 2 cats. I have my own cat named Shadow and have been a cat owner for most of my life. I became a vegetarian because I love animals. If you entrust me to watch over your pets in your home, I will treat them like my own. I am caring, gentle, reliable, and hardworking. If I am taking care of your pets, I can also bring in your mail, water your plants, and whatever else you may need. Whenever I see a dog or a cat, I pet him or her. When I visit one of my former clients, he remembers me and wags his tail in happiness. :) Thank you for considering me as your dog sitter! Why I love dog sitting I love taking care of dogs because they are so sweet and each one has a different personality. :) I am available for walks and overnight stays. I am also a nanny for children. I prefer non-agressive dogs who are good on the leash or have a backyard. While I can't care for dogs at my home, if I stay at the client's house, I usually sleep wherever the client chooses, and cater to the dog's needs.
About: With 10+ years of experience caring for my own dog as well as cats of all temperaments, I am eager to offer quality, safe, and attentive care to pets in my area. I know how stressful it can be to have to find quality animal care last minute, but I absolutely love animals and hope to be able to take some stress off of both owners and their pets. I love working with big dogs and high energy breeds, but am open to caring for all kinds of animals! My full-time role is as a Park Ranger, so I have an extremely flexible schedule ranging throughout the day. I typically know my schedule for the month by the 15th of the previous month and am willing to work around everyone’s schedules to find the sweet spot of what works best for us. ✨🐴 Alongside experience with dogs and cats, I have experience caring for horses and pack mules! I have veterinary science experience in Equine Hoof & Limb from college, as well as several years of experience caring for therapeutic riding horses, National Park Service pack mules and horses, and show horses. I am a full-time park ranger with a very flexible schedule. I’m not trapped in a strict office schedule and have my month planned out by the 15th of the month prior, so I can absolutely plan care with a shorter or longer term notice. Due to my prior experience caring for pets and with veterinary science education, I am a very careful caregiver. For all animals, but especially for cats, I will regularly make sure I am not bringing anything in that could spread communicable diseases or endanger the animal in any way. With all animals but specific with dogs, they will not be left unattended to roam even in fenced areas that they are used to - I know how beloved animals are to our families, and I will always have an eye on your pet while they are in my care! Additionally, I will not bring in any other animals or guests that are not agreed upon with the owner beforehand - I believe that if you hire someone to watch, walk, or care for your pet, you deserve 100% clarity over who they are, what their experience is, and who/what is entering your space.
About: Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me for years to stay and check in on, feed, and play with their pets. I have 2 pets of my own - a miniature poodle and half-tabby, half-Maine Coon cat -and they're my entire world. Your pets deserve to to feel just as loved! I focus on making sure every dog feels safe, exercised, and happy while their owners are away, treating them with the same care I give my own. I'm comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, high-energy and more laid-back companions! I'm currently not working, so I'm fully available anytime - mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekdays, and weekends. Pet care fits easily into my flexible schedule, and I'll always make plenty of time for walks, play, and attention. Whether you need overnight care, drop-ins, or daily walks, I'm ready when you are! I have pets of my own, so I truly understand how important it is that your fur baby feels safe and loved. Your pet will be treated like one of my own - with care, structure, and lots of affection in a calm, pet friendly home.

“Bridgette was a great host for my pup-son! When i dropped him off, the first thing she said was, “I’ve been excited all day waiting for him!” How comforting that was to hear?! She sent ample pictures and even videos! She took him to the dog park, on long walks, and challenged him with puzzles. My little fella usually takes a while before he feels comfortable eating with a new sitter but he had no issues with her! She even fed him his motion sickness medication before I picked him up. I would recommend Bridgette to any and all of my friends/family. Your pup will be in good hands. Added bonus that she was able to squeeze him in on short notice!”
“Sydney was absolutely wonderful with Luna. She consistently sent pictures and thoughtful updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Luna looked genuinely happy and comfortable in her care. I truly can’t recommend Sydney enough!”
“We had a great experience with Lex as Mochi’s sitter! She was very caring, attentive, and kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind. One thing we truly appreciated is her patience and understanding, even when we were running late picking Mochi up, she was more than willing to wait and didn’t make us feel rushed at all. Mochi came home happy and well taken care of. We would definitely trust Lex again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind pet sitter!”
“In short, Mark is a saint! And his family isn’t far behind. My 13-year old Airedale had never been boarded before and yet Mark took the very best care of him. I was away and received periodic updates and photos assuring me all was well. Mark is attentive, caring, fun and a real dog lover. I strongly recommend Mark in every way. You and your dog cannot find anyone better!”
“We had a wonderful experience! Thank you so much for taking such great care of Simba. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was happy, well looked after, and even made a new friend 😊 We really appreciated the regular updates and photos, it meant a lot to us. It’s clear how much care and attention you give to the dogs you look after. We would absolutely love for Simba to stay with you again in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for most of my adult life. My wife and I have made a point to adopt large older dogs that tend to be stuck in the shelter system. All dogs are good and deserve to live a fun filled, happy, and loved life. I am also recently pet CPR and first aid certified by The American Red Cross. Im currently working part time three nights during the week so I have plenty of free time to take care of your pups. Having recently lost our beloved Mastiff, I've been craving some pup time. I have a fully fenced in yard and have plenty of room to crate your pups. We recently lost our dog so we are pet free. Being dog people, we welcome your dogs like they were our family.
About: Ever wish you knew someone in town who could care for your pet as lovingly as you do? Well, now you do! I provide private boarding in my home, individual pet sitting in your home, and fun & attentive walks. I am extremely tuned in to your pet's comfort, safety, and enrichment. I make sure every pet in my care gets plenty of physical and mental exercise and has lots of fun doing it! I have been taking care of dogs and cats for over 20 years. Over the last 2 years, I've had the experience of caring for my senior (17-year-old) dog who became both blind and deaf. I am especially happy to provide care for your senior or special needs dog. I'm comfortable diapering, giving drops and meds, changing wee wee pads, and doing extra clean up. Caring for pets is my main job so I have availability 7 days a week. I am happy to accommodate last-minute requests whenever I am available. For boarding or doggie day care, your dog will be in my large, puppy-proofed living room. I have half a dozen cozy dog beds, dog toys, and treat puzzles. Dogs are also allowed on all furniture. Our Paw-ncierge Kessie is a very calm, 9-year-old Shih Tzu. She is dedicated to welcoming all furry friends 24/7, 365 days a year. My house is located 5-minutes from the beach, 10 minutes to the dog beach in either Asbury or Spring Lake, and about 10 minutes from the Off-Leash Dog Parks in Neptune and Wall. My backseat is set up with cozy dog beds and a pet hammock for safety.
About: I have experience with all dogs, big and small. I can be trusted with all activities, from day care to simple walks around the neighborhood. My work is flexible with time and place. I work in homes and telehealth, so I am home for majority of the day. I would only be out a maximum 2 hours. I take care of the pup and their environment! I will make sure to take cautionary measures to prevent injury, including keeping the home cleaned and free of items that they could pick up.
“Melissa took such great care of my dog while I was out of town. She sent me pics and updates at least once a day. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her care, I would definitely use her again and recommend her to others.”
About: We have owned and cared for dogs, cats,ferrets,etc since I was a kid. Currently we own a rescue that is a difficult dog that's happy I am a teacher and a chaplain intern finishing seminary just looking for some extra income. I would love to hang out with your pet! We have a fenced yard. We have also worked with two high-level trainers to help our pets feel comfortable. We have a happy dog. Insured pet sitter for your peace of mind!
About: My family and I have been dog lovers and owners for over 27 years; caring not only for our own pups, but also for the dogs of friends and family. With that much experience, we know every dog has their own personality, needs, and quirks and we love them all! We currently share our home with a sweet, high energy female boxer, who adores making new friends, so your pup will get both loving care and a playful buddy while you’re away. I’m available for boarding both weekdays and weekends making it easy to fit your dogs needs into my schedule. Dogs in our care enjoy a routine of two-three daily walks, early morning, mid afternoon and evening depending on dogs needs and weather. In addition they receive plenty of backyard playtime throughout the day to keep them happy healthy, and engaged. Feeding schedules can be adjusted to maintain their typical routine. Your dog’s safety is always my priority. The fenced in yard with locked gates provides a secure space for outdoor play, and our friendly 2 1/2 year-old boxer is here to keep your pup company. For added peice of mind, we have indoor cameras to keep an eye on things if we have to step out and cameras around the outside of the entire home, although dogs are never left unattended outside. I can also offer crates if preferred and have designated areas to separate dogs during feeding time to ensure a calm and stress-free environment.
“Ken is such a gem. You can tell he loves dogs and wants to help them have a great day. Our senior dog Marty was right at home and felt so excited to be at his house. The fenced in yard and regular updates of her relaxing in the grass were lovely touches. We'll definitely ask for Ken's help again in the future!”
“Mary was so accommodating and kind. She clearly understands dogs, and helped my dog Bryn to fit in with her pack. Her home and yard are perfect and safe for happy & healthy dogs. It was my first time using Rover and she made the process very easy for me. (I was very nervous). Thank you Mary and family! -Peggy and Bryn”
